She's Adaptable...

On Tuesday September 16, People posted a blog about VP candidate Sarah Palin. People Magazine has been running various stories about the candidates and they have been alright, focusing on their everyday lives instead of their politics.

I acknowledge that People is fluffy, but I love to read so. So I clicked on the article to read the five things I didn't know about Sarah and was horrified...As you will see, I included the article below.

Please let me know your thoughts - I'm not sure why its all superficial.

I am truly afraid of the upcoming election...

After having famously joked at her party's convention, "You know what they say about the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick," what sort of lipstick does Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin prefer?

The Insider spoke to Palin's closest friends and found out, uncovering these five (more) things you may not know about her:

• She's frugal. "Sarah gave me a thank-you card after I helped her with her lieutenant-governor race," said her friend, Kristen Cole, who has known the Alaska governor since childhood. "She liked the card so much that she didn't sign it so I could give it to someone else."

• She's a techie. Palin prefers texting to phone calls.

• She's a rock fan. She named her son Trig Paxton Van Palin because it sounds like the band Van Halen. Says friend Judy Patrick, a former city council member who has known Palin for 12 years, "How cool was that to have a kid named Van Palin?"

• She's adaptable. Palin used to wear Mary Kay lipstick, but she now prefers MAC.

• She's a traditionalist. Palin is against waxing. Cole recalls: "I remember that one of her girls wanted to get her legs waxed, and Sarah said, 'Are you kidding me? What's wrong with a razor?'

Apes, thanks for posting a deep thought, I love it! Secondly, there is no shame in loving the People magazine. Thirdly, can you blame a candidate that likes MAC?
